[RFC PATCH 1/7] core/metricfs: Create metricfs, standardized files under debugfs.

From: Jonathan Adams
Date: Fri Aug 07 2020 - 17:29:48 EST


From: Justin TerAvest <teravest@xxxxxxxxxx>

Metricfs is a standardized set of files and directories under debugfs,
with a kernel API designed to be simpler than exporting new files under
sysfs. Type and field information is reported so that a userspace daemon
can easily process the information.

The statistics live under debugfs, in a tree rooted at:

/sys/kernel/debug/metricfs

Each metric is a directory, with four files in it. This patch includes
a single "metricfs_presence" metric, whose files look like:
/sys/kernel/debug/metricfs:
metricfs_presence/annotations
DESCRIPTION A\ basic\ presence\ metric.
metricfs_presence/fields
value
int
metricfs_presence/values
1
metricfs_presence/version
1

Statistics can have zero, one, or two 'fields', which are keys for the
table of metric values. With no fields, you have a simple statistic as
above, with one field you have a 1-dimensional table of string -> value,
and with two fields you have a 2-dimensional table of
{string, string} -> value.

When a statistic's 'values' file is opened, we pre-allocate a 64k buffer
and call the statistic's callback to fill it with data, truncating if
the buffer overflows.

Statistic creators can create a hierarchy for their statistics using
metricfs_create_subsys().

code significantly]

notes:
* To go upstream, this will need documentation and a MAINTAINERS update.
* It's not clear what the "version" file is for; it's vestigial and
should probably be removed.

jwadams@xxxxxxxxxx: Forward ported to v5.8, removed some google-isms and
cleaned up some anachronisms (atomic->refcount, moving to
kvmalloc(), using POISON_POINTER_DELTA, made more functions static,
made 'emitter_fn' into an explicit union instead of a void *),
renamed 'struct emitter -> metric_emitter' and renamed
some funcs for consistency.

+ * Metricfs: A mechanism for exporting metrics from the kernel.
+ *
+ * Kernel code must provide:
+ * - A description of the metric
+ * - The subsystem for the metric (NULL is ok)
+ * - Type information about the metric, and
+ * - A callback function which supplies metric values.
+ *
+ * In return, metricfs provides files in debugfs at:
+ * /sys/kernel/debug/metricfs/<subsys>/<metric_name>/
+ * The files are:
+ * - annotations, which provides streamz "annotations"-- the description, and
+ * other metadata (e.g. if it's constant, deprecated, etc.)
+ * - fields, which provides type information about the metric and its fields.
+ * - values, which contains the actual metric value data.
+ * - version, which is kept around for future-proofing.
+ *
+ * Metrics only support a limited subset of types-- for fields, they only
+ * support strings, integers, and boolean types. For simplicity, we only support
+ * strings and integers and strictly control how the data is formatted when
+ * displayed from debugfs.
+ *
+ * See kernel/metricfs_examples.c for example code.
+ *
+ * Limitations:
+ * - "values" files are at MOST 64K. We truncate the file at that point.
+ * - The list of fields and types is at most 1K.
+ * - Metrics may have at most 2 fields.
+ *
+ * Best Practices:
+ * - Emit the most important data first! Once the 64K per-metric buffer
+ * is full, the emit* functions won't do anything.
+ * - In userspace, open(), read(), and close() the file quickly! The kernel
+ * allocation for the metric is alive as long as the file is open. This
+ * permits users to seek around the contents of the file, while permitting
+ * an atomic view of the data.
+ *
+ * FAQ:
+ * - Why is memory allocated for file data at open()?
+ * Snapshots of data provided by the kernel should be as "atomic" as
+ * possible. If userspace code performs read()s smaller than the total
+ * amount of data, we'd like for that tool to still work, while providing a
+ * consistent view of the file.
+ *
+ * Questions:
+ * - Would it be simpler if we escaped spaces instead of wrapping strings in
+ * quotes?
